U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has told people treating him at an American military medical facility in Germany that he was tortured, beaten and held in a cage by his Taliban captors in Afghanistan after he tried to escape, a senior U.S. official said Sunday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss what Bergdahl has revealed about the conditions of his captivity. The New York Times first reported on the matter.
The official said it was difficult to verify the accounts Bergdahl has given since his release a week ago.

Military doctors at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center say that while Bergdahl is physically able to travel he's not yet emotionally prepared to be reunited with his family. He has not yet spoken to his family.

They made him play badminton.
Hey, Lady! You hit the nail on the head.
*ew*
Heard on news this morning that there will be fury if he is made an official POW as POW’s get special benefits.
Since the one knows this will infuriate the Vets and most Americans...I am sure the one will do this...another middle finger to us.....
LOL
Goatzilla.
The left is building a narrative in preparation for his return home with pomp and circumstance.
Well, Bergdahl is at a disadvantage there-he doesn’t have a hot female cylon that only he can see advising him like Gaius Baltar did...
Wonder what color his rug is...and if they had to hire a chef to make sure everything is halal.
Looking at his parents and his life he seems to be the last guy who would up and join the armed services.
I can’t figure this one out.
I thought his platoon of pyschopaths did the torturing...
He must have been tortured worse by the US Army.
Probably exactly what happened. He may not have been little Johnny Jihad, just some skull-full-of-mush moron from a hippy-dippy family who thought he could pull a Timothy Leary and "Turn on, tune in, drop out" from the Army and do a walkabout in Afghanistan. The Taliban probably couldn't believe their luck when they came upon him looking for some poppys, and grabbed the idiot.
Thanks-now the song is stuck in my head...
“Oh no-they say he’s got to go, go, go Godzilla”...
They already said he was going to get ANOTHER promotion in June or July??
He tried the foreign legion first. My gut tells me he was just looking for a free plane ride and that his parents were already involved in Afghanistan.
LOL!
I’m a huge BOC fan but I *hate* that song.
BINGO.
Hes lucky they did not chop off his head....They wanted him alive..Maybe his dick to send home?

BOWE WON’T SPEAK TO FAMILY
